For a long time I used Kodak EasyShare C1930 but then tried out the Canon. Canon has always been a leader in photo equipment, Kodak was their rival and for a long time my preference was Kodak. Then, I got this cute little SX210 to try out because of all the raving reviews about it. I actually got 2 ( this one was my second ). The first one had a bad memory card reader and that turned me off about it. I almost didnt give it a second chance. But I decided okay, one last try and if I get another issue, I stay with Kodak. Well I got the second one and have been using it ever since. I'm actually getting rid of my Kodak now. This little beauty takes outstanding photos , and has every mode I could possibly use. Is compact enough to tuck away easily. I am very pleased with it. I will not use another camera now. Canon outdid themselves on this point & shoot camera. Well done !Read full review

Some of the first pictures I took were fuzzy (and yes, I know how to use the camera, focus, etc), but they were close up (Not Macro, just maybe a couple feet away of subject). Shouldn't have been fuzzy. I wanted a camera for taking action pics, and it just doesn't deliver. Have a Sony Rx100 that gives me issues sometimes, but delivers much better quality photos (camera is hundreds more cost-wise, though). Just wanted a cheaper easy to grab camera. Power button isn't very easy to hit (TINY, and oval), but it's fine. For first-time photographers, it's probably a great first camera.

The one outstanding feature is the lens with 14X optical zoom. It really comes in handy, but, don't expect SLR type clarity or precision. It works adequately. Most of the auto features work well, but take valuable time away from catching good shots. Retakes are a way of life with this camera. The dark shots are still grainy, but better somewhat than with earlier Canon cameras. The well lit shots are nice and clear, but, I would have expected larger files than with my previous Canon powershot, since these are 14 megapixel instead of ten, but, they are smaller and thus, more compressed. This will cause quality issues with some photos. The HD video is in Quicktime format but uses H264 compression. On brightly lit scenes, it's good and clear, but, the average lit room during the day turns out very grainy. Dark shots are really grainy. It's nice to be able to zoom during the video takes, but, I found the focus drifts between subjects if there are too many foreground and midground objects. Better use a "real" video camera if you are serious about your video. Still shots were nice and clear, especially if the flash was necessary. The flash always seems like it's in the way, and most of the time when I turn on the camera, my finger blocks the flash door from opening. A real problem, in my opinion. Manual mode works well, and has easy to use setting controls. Still, its response is slow. I had a Powershot SD900 that failed. The lens drive system froze, so I ended up looking around and thought that this SX210 would be a good upgrade. But, though it takes larger pictures, the quality is not substantially better. However, the $250 price tag makes most of my objections go away.Read full review
ordered this camera on ebay , i spent 299$ for the camera including some extra package which is totally worth the price. The camera has a nice design, heavy feel but small enough to fit into your pocket. love the long lens and HD video shot, its amazing how far the zoom can reach, it is not the best one yet but still a very good camera. The pop up flash is kind of on the way but its understandable why it is designed that way,because its kind of weird if the pop up flash is in the middle which is kind of weird for a point and shot camera, the pop up flash is on a side so when you zoom in extra, the flash can still reach, all you have to do is to get used to it. After all it is almost impossible to have everything is a little camera like SX 200 .I highly recommend this camera for anyone who wish to have a professional pocket one.Read full review
love the simplicity of the camera; the fact that it's easy to navigate and very intuitive to use. Loved the colour availability (bought the purple). The zoom in/out is awesome, the resolution of the pictures is great (14.1 megapixels is as good as it gets). Not crazy about the fact that the batteries are re-chargeable even though the camera did come with the charger. I am planning to go to Europe and the electricity there is 240V so where am I going to plug the charger ?? Would have prefered regular disposable batteries any time.
